Evidence of Things Unseen

I'm actually re-reading a non-horror novel called Evidence of Things Unseen by Marianne Wiggins. Astounding book.

The back flap description:

"Evidence of Things Unseen is a poetic novel that describes America at the brink of the Atomic Age. In the years between the two world wars, the future held more promise than peril, but there was evidence of things unseen that would transfigure our unquestioned trust in a safe future."

Kickass writing.

Re: Stir of Echoes

I loved the job they did on STIR OF ECHOES with Kevin Bacon I the lead role. Very effective little suspenser.

Richard Matheson was a great writer.

A book called Picture Perfect by Jerry Fox.
Don't think it was intended as a horror, but once I got to the gay orgy mid way in it, it all became rather disturbing lol.

The Cipher By Kathe Koja

I just finished the Cipher. It won the Bram Stoker award two decades ago but I had never read it before. Below is my review that I posted on amazon.

Poetry Meets Horror

Koja creates a dark dystopia full of intriguing characters artfully spun with a unique and beautiful poetic style. The Cipher doesn't take the reader to exotic locales or tired landscapes; it doesn't have to. The "Funhole" itself presents an ever-changing backdrop for Koja to paint an artistic canvas full of delightful nightmares. In a word: phenomenal.

SUNDAYS WITH VLAD-Paul Bibeau (2007). One from my wife's library. Author had the bejesus scared out of him by older sister with plastic fangs and becomes obsessed with vampires, including attending conventions, watching endless vampire films, going to Romania on his honeymoon etc. Not bad so far, but author was a former editor/contributor to MAXIM and book, at times, falls into that glib and juvenile style.
